“Great place and welcoming!”
When we arrived, we rung and were greeted by a gent called Phil - he was so welcoming, really laid back. He gave us the choice of two, so although we originally booked for Bracken Barn - we stayed at Sunny Brow Barn (we simply preferred the views + cosines). The view from the kitchen is great to see, lots of sheep, chicken and a real relaxing feel.
We were left to our own devices, which was great. The place is super cosy, and the bed!! We wish we could've taken it home with us, super spacious and comfortable. There's a log burner there, with the opportunity for logs and kindling to purchase on site.
The place is located in a great area, within 10 minutes to a local town of Hawkshead - and within 30 minutes of lots of great areas. We had hiked Raven Crag and popped to Bourton on Windmere. 4 nights is the perfect amount of time to really explore the local area.
I would definitely recommend this place to stay to any future people that are looking for a great place to stay in the lakes.
The only reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 - we both agreed that the place could do with a Hoover to hand - especially after a few days there and with the weather, the floor started to feel like it needed a hoover. A few of the draws in the kitchen needed cleaning as they had crumbs in + there were a few cobwebs about and a pile of dust under the bed. Didn't affect our stay, just some feedback to ever so slightly work on.
Definitely would love to return one day. Thankyou for a lovely stay.
